3 FIRE STATISTICS There are around 11 construction site fires everyday in the UK Estimated costs to the industry are 400m per year, or over 1m a day! All sites and buildings under construction are susceptible to fire Blazes occur regardless of simplicity or complexity of the project at hand. The dangers of construction site fires are material: they destroy property and equipment, cost money, and delay or even permanently halt projects. But much more importantly, fires cost lives.

4 Fire Safety Legislation HSE Fire Safety Guidelines for construction sites (HSG168; 223) HSG168 is relevant to all construction projects aimed at all with a role in developing, managing and applying safety standards on site. Covers location of materials FPA, CC, JCOP It s a code to prevent fires on construction site, to protect not only the buildings but also the occupants Distribution panels, amount of protection required, servicing intervals and other hazards on site.

5 Fire Safety Legislation The Structural Timber Association s 16 Steps to Timber Frame Construction document. Guidance for all involved in the design, manufacture and erection of timber frame buildings. It represents the strongest recommendations and advice for all clients Electrically operated fire warning devices must always be used in timber frame. These devices should be linked to detection devices strategically places around the structure. British Standards Institution works closely with the FIA to supply a range of fire safety standards from emergency lighting, to fire detection and alarm systems, and fixed firefighting equipment. BS5839 (locating and servicing and alarms) BS 5306 (Locating and servicing extinguishers)

9 Best Practice

10 Onsite Fire Safety Recommendations HOUSING As a g uide there should be 1 fire point every 30m or every 6 houses that are under construction. For example a project with 100 units may actually only be building 6-8 units at each phase; therefore only 1 fire point trolley will be required which can be moved around as the site progresses. Wheeled Fire Point Trolley, c/w: Double Contractor Trolley 9kg Powder Extinguisher 9ltr Foam Extinguisher Extinguisher ID, Fire Point & Fire Action Signag e Suitable Alarm can be a wireless standalone or radio-linked versions which have to be audible above the noise of a construction site. APPARTMENTS Ref JCOP 9th Edition Page 16, point 11.3 Exting uishers must be located in conspicuous positions near to exits on each floor. Wheeled Fire Point Trolley, c/w: Double Contractor Trolley 9kg Powder Extinguisher 9ltr Foam Exting uisher Exting uisher ID, Fire Point & Fire Action Signage Suitable Alarm can be a wireless standalone or radio-linked versions which have to be audible above the noise of a construction site.

11 Onsite Fire Safety Recommendations TIMBER FRAME Considered a high risk environment. Ref JCOP 9th Edition page 27 Point Automatic fire detection must be provided as set out in section 13; these systems must be linked to an alarm receiving centre unless there is a 24 hour security presence on site. Wheeled Fire Point Trolley, c/w: Double Contractor Trolley 9kg Powder Exting uisher 9ltr Foam Extinguisher Extinguisher ID, Fire Point & Fire Action Signage Cygnus Fire Alarm System inc. Call Points, Heat Detectors and Control Panel An Auto Dialler may be required if 24hr site security presence is not available. HIGH RISE Ref JCOP 9th Edition page 22.1 point 22.8 In these circumstances a specific fire risk assessment should be undertaken to develop appropriate provisions. Electrically operated fire alarm systems must be provided throughout the heig ht of the building, comprising breakglass (or similar) call points and sounders on all levels, plus a link to a permanently occupied security office (or similar). Hard wired systems or radio operated wireless systems of proven reliability, performance and coverage are also acceptable. Wheeled Fire Point Trolley, c/w: Double Contractor Trolley 9kg Powder Extinguisher 9ltr Foam Extinguisher Extinguisher ID, Fire Point & Fire Action Signag e Cygnus Fire Alarm System inc. Call Points, Heat Detectors and Control Panel An Auto Dialler may be required if 24hr site security presence is not available.

12 Onsite Fire Safety Recommendations ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT E.G. Distribution panels; Ref JCOP 9th Edition Page 15 point 9.6 PLANT & MACHINERY HSG168 Plant & Equipment, pag e 72 Mobile plant should be fitted with an appropriate fire exting uisher (e.g. 1 or 2kg Powder) To protect distribution panels and items of electrical equipment, appropriate exting uishers (such as those containing carbon dioxide) must be provided close to the equipment concerned. JCOP 9th Edition Page 16 point 11.7 Ride-on mechanically propelled site plant should carry an appropriate fire exting uisher where reasonably practicable. - 5kg / 2kg CO2 Fire Exting uisher - 1kg / 2kg Powder Fire Exting uisher

13 Onsite Fire Safety Recommendations HOT WORKS E.G. Welding or Tar Boilers Adequate spare extinguishers should always be available to cover any hot works. In this regard special caution and provision should be allowed for when tar boilers are to be used; JCOP 9th Edition Page 21 point 16.13(e) The following precautions should be applied when using tar boilers: (e) at least two appropriate fire extinguishers must be to hand; SMOKING AREAS JCOP 9th Edition Pag e 25 Smoking 21.2 (e) Where a smoking shelter is provided it must be: (e) provided with a suitable fire extinguisher. Sing le Fire Exting uisher Stand or Trolley 6Ltr Foam Fire Exting uisher c/w signage 9Kg Powder Fire Exting uisher 9Ltr Foam Fire Exting uisher

14 Onsite Fire Safety Recommendations TEMPORARY ACCOMODATION UNITS (TAUs) Canteen c/w Full Cooking Facilities (where cooking oils are used) Basic Site Office / Meeting Room Site Office c/w Kitchenette/ Basic Canteen Drying Room Double Fire Exting uisher Stand 6Ltr Wet Chemical Fire Exting uisher 2kg CO2 Fire Exting uisher Fire Blanket Fire Exting uisher and Fire Blanket ID Sig nage Double Fire Exting uisher Stand 6Ltr Foam Fire Exting uisher 2kg CO2 Fire Exting uisher Fire Extinguisher ID Sig nag e Double Fire Extinguisher Stand 6Ltr Foam Fire Extinguisher 2kg CO2 Fire Exting uisher Fire Blanket Fire Exting uisher and Fire Blanket ID Sig nag e Double Fire Extinguisher Stand 6Kg Powder Fire Exting uisher 6Ltr Foam Fire Exting uisher Fire Exting uisher ID Sig nage Compound Area / Fuel Bowser Wheeled Fire Point Trolley that incorporates the following : 9Kg Powder Fire Exting uisher 9Ltr Foam Fire Extinguisher Fire Exting uisher ID and Fire Action Sig nag e Temporary Fire Alarm
